The teacher creates a story – a fantasy world –, selects a theme to start a process, where each student finally selects their piece of picture and creates a story to the picture. Example:“Once upon a time a group of very famous ornithologists were gathered at an international conference where each one was invited to present their best “photo” of a very seldom bird. They were asked to present their photo together with facts about their bird: name, origin, manners, living conditions such as food, reproduction, parental care and/or the conditions under which it was found......” Each student cuts a view finding frame out of a piece of A4. All holes have the same size44. The student takes the identity of an ornithologist finding “his/her” bird. Each participant selects his/her bird and tapes the frame on the huge picture where it is found. The student has chosen his/her picture and sits down to “create” the story to be presented. Each participant takes turn to present their story in front of the class. When finished the storyteller selects the next picture to be presented and so on until all have had the chance to present.
